HD Audio Flagging

I was wondering if confluence currently supports any HD Audio Flagging 'out of the box.' From my tests it would appear it does not, however I wanted to verify. If it does not, any chance someone could use the edits in the thread below to incorporate them into confluence? It would be great to see Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio instead of the normal DD and DTS logos.

I know this would require reading the filenames like we do for Bluray/HDDVD/HDTV source flags, and that is very lame, but until XBMC can detect the HD audio appropriately I think this will do fine. Anyone feeling in the mood for a quick mod?

Example Filename: TransformersRevengeoftheFallen.Bluray.DTSMA.m2ts

Won't this then create two audio flags? The native support for audio flagging will be shown and then your substring flag for your workaround will show as well.

Well the plan would be to do an IF/THEN/ELSE setup for the audio flag. IF the filename contains TrueHD or DTSHD THEN display respective logo ELSE display native source flag.

Bump. No one is interested in something like this? Especially because we currently cannot bitstream TrueHD/DTSMA, meaning no indicators on the AV receiver. This would be the only way to know what type of audio your sending without hitting the codec button.

Lets just say from a official stand point I'm not adding anything that relies on filenames if there is a better way to see the codec info in xbmc then I might listen

It is rather unconventional. You could just replace the current skin flag that displays when you have a truehd video playing with the truehd flag you have. Just keep the name the same.

I know your stance on filenames for flags

Anyway I think XBMC can detect these other streams. When you pull up the on-screen codec info during playback it says TrueHD and DCA. Could we not add those to the skin some way? (I don't pretend to know what XBMC reads and makes available to the skin)

Are you suggesting changing the image from Dolby Digital to the TrueHD image? (That would sort of defeat the purpose of knowing the difference between the audio quality of your videos) Sorry I'm a bit confused by your suggestion!

If you can actually hook me up with a couple of samples (in PM if you like) I'll see what could be done. and by samples I mean less than 100mb

Are you aware of the way people code the media flags for audio codec?

Nope! That's why I commented earlier about not pretending to know how this works. I'm just trying to get the ball rolling on an idea. But if you do know something please contribute! If there is an easier method I'm all ears!

Absolutely! I just created 4 samples (100mb each) 2 HDDVD and 2 Bluray. All perfect rips, 0 loss in quality. I'm uploading them to my server now. This should cover TrueHD, DTSMA, DD+ and the HDDVD version of TrueHD.
